Antony said he wanted to make 'history' with Manchester United after he became Erik ten Hag's fifth signing of the summer.
United paid Ajax €95m up front, with €5m due in add-ons, for the winger, making him the club's second-most expensive signing and that fee was agreed upon despite key figures at Old Trafford being reluctant to meet the Dutch side's valuation.
Two embarrassing defeats against Brighton and Brentford at the start of the season encouraged United to bid for the player again, although it shouldn't have taken those results for that level of investment to be made available to Ten Hag.
